Quiet country living on just over an acre in Marion's highly sought-after Country Bourne subdivision. Set on one of the last lots, the property offers privacy and very little passing traffic. Meticulously maintained by its original owner and move-in ready, this 2007 custom-built 3-bedroom home will impress you the moment you step inside, with a bright, open floor plan, hickory cabinetry, and a stove pipe ready for a wood stove. Updates include Armstrong luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout (2016), upgraded covered composite decks (2018), a repainted living room, dining room, and hallway (2020), a new GE built-in microwave (2020), and a 50-gallon electric water heater (2020). Recent maintenance includes a whole-house plumbing inspection this year with a new toilet flush system, a drained water heater, cleaned gutters, and landscaping refreshed this summer. Electric Cadet wall heaters with individual room thermostats, low-maintenance vinyl siding, and an insulated, oversized attached garage add everyday practicality. Outside, the decks overlook a partially wooded, partially landscaped lot with mature evergreens, a storage shed, and underground sprinklers and drip irrigation. HOA dues are only $165 per quarter and include community well water, road maintenance, and winter snow plowing. The Country Bourne neighborhood is a close-knit, back-in-the-day community where neighbors meet weekly to play cards, and the Marion Volunteer Fire Department is just 1 mile away. For outdoor lovers, the area is surrounded by public land: the 38,000-acre Lost Trail Conservation Area and adjoining nearly 8,000-acre Lost Trail National Wildlife Refuge offer permanent public access for hunting, hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing, with the Blacktail Wild Bill OHV trails and Flathead National Forest nearby. Bitterroot Lake is just 3 miles away, Kalispell and Glacier Park International Airport are 20 miles, and Glacier National Park is 40 miles.
